Review #717: Ronald Ray "The Mixtape Assassin Vol. 1"

Reviewed on 12.20.2010 (Review #717)




Here’s my 9th review for today. Not sure how it’s gonna go so we’ll find out. Here’s my review for Ronald Ray “The Mixtape Assassin Vol. 1. Start Time: 7:42 PM | End Time: 8:34 PM



Quick Note: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion!! I only please myself wit my ratings!! I don’t care how lyrical you are! As long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much REALLY LOVE it as it’s considered “mindblowin’” when I hear it. Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> ” iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song. Anything after I type “ >>> ” iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it.

01. Intro
>>> Startin’ off wit a “Facebook” intro? I don’t think I’ll be lookin’ forward ta dis; seems low quality… What’s wit tha “Baton Rouge” stereotype, too? I SUPPORT Baton Rouge but I am NEVA CLOSE to “poppin’ pillz” and shit like dat. There’s NONE of dat where I’m at (as what I see). You say you chose a “life differently”. Well, my life iz different. And if I lived in Baton Rouge, would you know what Autism or Asperger’s iz? That’s somethin’ that Hip-Hop REALLY needs… BADLY!!!!! I can bet your tastes and daily routines are tha same as everybody. BTW, why iz this intro over four minutes? A lil’ too long? Shouldn’t’ve been longer than 100 seconds… Tha intro on my CD has approximately 24 bars rapped and it’s 97 seconds long! My Rating: N/A


02. “A Millie”
*Yawn* >>> I thought we’re in ’10, not ’08, smh. After almost 4.5 minutes, rappin’. At least you’re not bad or anything. But, you could use better beats (like dat Vybe one you just talked on). Good “steak” line… Even though I seem bored, luckily, your rhymes have been keepin’ me entertained for this 3.5-minute garbage, played-out beat. My Rating: 2.9


03. “Let My Nuts Go”
ROFL? >>> Funny in a way… Pretty good rappin’ but you should shorten tha lengths to about two minutes or less if they’re freestyles. Why do I gotta sit for almost four minutes on a jacked beat (most of tha time)? I can be bored easily if this sounds like it’s too long… What made you come up wit a topic like dis? My Rating: 3.0


04. “Won’t Be Needing Those”
You think I wanna sit here for 4:49? >>> Think I heard this beat used once before; sounds pretty pathetic. You may feel interested in makin’ tha song but I have absolutely no interest; too boring, too long, and nothin’ exciting. SMH, a non-original 2nd verse? My Rating: 1.1


05. “It Ain’t Easy”
I think this iz #5 ‘cause it’s not included in tha DatPiff folder… >>> I thought this was tha Purple City Byrdgang beat; I would’ve gave you a prop for that. I dunno what this iz but it’s aight for you. My Rating: 2.4


06. “Turnt Up”
SMH. Not only dat, almost five minutes long? >>> SMH @ tha original hook, too! You keep makin’ me scroll… What’s up wit all tha “Ronald Ray” intro parts? I thought you said you weren’t tha same? Everyone likes to have a tag on their beats and everything; I don’t. Yea, I don’t. You could get better beats ‘cause I have better interest if it’s a better beat. I wanna be someone who can spit tha realest shit about life ova a Baton Rouge beat; it would be a GR8 mix! SMH, an outro of 1:44? Remember I said to not have an intro longer than 100 seconds; you have an outro of a track over 100 seconds, smh? Wait, you say you “do this for fun”? I gon look out for gun-type lyrics and some mo shit… Why’d you say, “real nigga,” at tha end? Could’ve just kept dat a secret. Not sayin’ dat you fake but tha ones that I’ve seen fake were tha ones dat kept sayin’, “real this, real dat.” My Rating: 1.5


07. Shoutouts
C’mon, not anotha long-ass wait… >>> SMH, save this for tha end! Tha teacher thing sounds like some real shi—oh, forget tha word “real”. It sounded like some shit you’re tryna hop over. “Pro tools”? There’s no original beats here… VERY BORING wit tha “shout out to whoeva made those beats…” ‘round 2:30…; yawn… My Rating: N/A


08. “Hold Up”
Finally, a normal length of only 123 seconds? >>> Not bad wit tha rappin’ but why do you have to aim in tha 3rd person? Shouldn’t you do tha work? If not, don’t say nothin’ ‘bout it. Plus, you need ta add energy to your track; this iz, just, boring Rap for me. My Rating: 2.6


½time: So far, 2.3-rated CD.


09. “One Night Only”
Bleh… >>> C’mon wit tha pre-made hooks. I’d expect better wit a ladies song… Again wit tha long outro? My Rating: 1.9


10. “BeBop”
Looks like a gay title… >>> Actually, it sounds better, lol. I like your “marijuana” start and tha consistent rhymin’. Your best rhymes are on here, too. My Rating: 3.6


11. “Acapello”
With an “O” at tha end, lol? >>> C’mon, not anotha skit. After 59 seconds, some rappin’. Sounds fake, unfortunately. You said you, “do this shit for fun,” but tha only things dat come to your mind are violent rhymes? Confusion results in confused ratings. My Rating: 2.0


12. “Nigga Just Dance”
>>> How does “nigga” and a “try-to-sound-like-a-Dance-beat” come into play at tha same time? If it’s Tittsworth’s song, “Broke Ass Nigga”, then, it’s acceptable. Anyway, because I like dis kinda shit, I’ll give it credit. Well, not tha “dancin’” lyrics. One thing I don’t like about people that try to make Dance beats iz that all they include iz tha 128 BPM. They don’t make tha hook sound Dance-type and just repeat tha verse’s beat, smh. “Tha whole reason of a social club anyway [to social wit females]”? No dignity? Iz there a guilt for friends or somethin’? Again, you’re really fuckin’ up tha remaining length wit tha long-ass, not-called-for outro. My Rating: 2.8


13. “Ridin’ Solo”
>>> ANOTHER TALK BREAK?!? Okay, tha rappin’s here at :42. Enough wit tha fake rhymes; no points scored!! When I freestyle, it’s real shit! “That ain’t me;” you said it! You’re a “dad”? Aren’t you kinda young, smh? Like, you’re not near 30, yet… My Rating: 1.0


14. “Can’t Reup”
>>> SMH, someone made a song quotin’ Waka Flocka, smh? You wit tha “real nigga” shit; you’re fake! You repeat dat stupid “real nigga” phase too much! It happened a bunch of times in tha past and it’s a formula! “Pistol”? How much you luv your pistol? No pics? Why tha violence? You said you don’t “make” Baton Rouge music, smh? Let’s hear it for tha long outro again! My Rating: 1.2


15. “We Can Do This”
>>> You have an erected luv wit Flocka or somethin’? Why iz he here again, only tha actual beat, smh? “I am tha realest in BR”? Want me to get Marcel P. Black? That word, “realest,” iz fake itself! And what do we have ta end it? Tha 100-SECOND OUTRO!! “Took three minutes ta do dis track”? Sometimes, quickness results in a lack of accuracy. That’s prolly why you only know how ta spit about violence and sex, what EVERYONE raps about; I don’t! My Rating: 1.0


16. Outro
Do I have ta hear it? >>> On a “Forever” beat, smh… No comment; I had enough! My Rating: N/A


Overall: I would take some time and rap about some shit that exists in your life, surrounding, etc. I wouldn’t rap about things you’d neva do. My CD, “Within A Personal Point Of View”, consists of real shit I’ve been through. I took a whole lotta time fa dat and did everything myself! Also, I’d not have one, two-minute outros on tha tracks as well as big, long shout outs in tha middle of tha CD. Tha flow and vibe iz killed, then.

13. “Ridin’ Solo” 1.0
12. “We Can Do This” 1.0
